The 12 Best Clothing Rental Subscriptions in 2023 – Readers’ Choice Awards

1. Rent the Runway

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

Rent the Runway offers different membership options, a 4 Item Plan (rent up to 4 items/month, $69 for your trial month, $89 per month thereafter), an 8 Item Plan (rent up to 8 items/month, 2 shipments of 4 items/month for $135 per month), and a 16 Item Plan (rent up to 16 items/month, 4 shipments of 4 items/month for $199 per month).

Their selection features high-end, designer dresses including everything from Diane Von Furstenberg cocktail dresses to Badgley Mischka gowns. Rent the Runway also has day-to-day essentials (think jackets, jeans, and blouses) from brands like JCrew, Levi’s, and BB Dakota. You’ll also find a selection of jewelry and accessories to finish your look.

Overall, Rent the Runway is a versatile and comprehensive clothing rental subscription service. By offering a variety of choices from well-known brands, the company gives you an affordable way to stay on top of trends, and their monthly plans are much more affordable than buying new designer clothes.

Who's This Box For?

In simple words, this is a spectacular option for anyone seriously interested in fashion. You can easily plan for special occasions — then pack up your dress and send it back after the big day. It's also for the person who wears sizes between 0 to 24.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

"Rent the Runway makes dressing well so easy. I'm obsessed with all the mental space it's freed up for me — I don't have to worry about dry cleaning, shelling out money to try out new trends, or being more adventurous than usual with my wardrobe. It's made getting ready a bit more exciting than usual, especially after a year spent wearing t-shirts and sweatshirts. Plus, as things return to normal, I'm looking forward to trying more bags and accessories." - MC

Shipping: Members enjoy free shipping and returns within the U.S., including Hawaii and Alaska. Orders must also be returned from within the U.S.

2. Le Tote

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

Le Tote lets you try a new set of separates, dresses, and more on a monthly basis. Keep the pieces as long as you’d like — once you return them, you’ll be eligible for a new set of items but the frequency depends on the membership you have. If you have an unlimited membership, you can get up to three totes in one month. We like that Le Tote features familiar fashion-forward brands like Calvin Klein, Free People, and Rachel Roy. They also offer maternity clothing options and accessories. Rent up to 10 clothing items and as many as 5 accessories per month.

Who's This Box For?

This is great for people who love to participate in the trends without committing to buying the actual pieces. Le Tote only carries sizes XS to XXL, or 0 to 16, so inventory might be a little limited.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

"I enjoy getting Le Tote...more than some of the others that never seemed to read my style profile. You are "renting" clothes and if you buy them then, of course, they're used but I've never had an issue with the quality of an item. I also enjoy that I can pick out my own selections. They do have limited quantities so sometimes what I want is not available but I've always found something else to try and sometimes it's out of my comfort zone, which is good!" - Amy R

"My first tote arrived, fast shipping... Everything looks great, fit is not perfect sizes run large. Look forward to the next one as they perfect my sizes..." - Daisy Barrera

Shipping: They offer free shipping both ways. All totes are sent to members using 2-3 day priority shipping and ground shipping when being returned to their warehouse.

3. nuuly by Urban Outfitters

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

nuuly is a fashion rental subscription from URBN, the company behind brands like Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and Free People. By now, you know the drill: nuuly lets members rent 6 pieces at a time from URBN’s entire family of brands (along with 100s of other brands available on the site including Agolde, Levi’s, and more) on a monthly basis. Return your rentals by your monthly return date, and they’ll send you a new set of pieces to try.

It’s a great pick if you’re into URBN’s unique taste in workwear, denim, and party dresses, and it’s an even better choice if you love vintage pieces like robes, jackets, and band tees. We love that nuuly lists retail value right on their site, so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting into if you decide to keep something. This clothing rental subscription also has plenty of plus-size clothes, and their “Lookbooks" provide some inspiration if you’re stuck in a fashion rut.

Who's This Box For?

Honestly, this box is for people who love the style from Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and Free People. Or for the people who have always wanted to buy from these stores but felt like it was too expensive or was not accessible to them. They also carry plus sizes, so everyone is welcome to rent!

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

"Love this subscription. Selection is large. URBN stores carry a wide selection of on-trend brands. If the rental reviews/details don't help, can usually find items on the store sites for more information and measurements. Shipping is very fast for both directions - I usually take packages to the UPS store on Monday morning and I'm able to choose new items that same evening, a new shipment arrives on Thursday. Clothes are clean and in good condition, CS can resolve damage reports. I really like the reusable garment case for the shipment. For the $100 subscription can get $500-$1000+ clothing each month. That's a great value. Really great way to rotate seasonal, very trendy items through wardrobe. Variety of work-friendly and casual clothing." - Ruchee Patel

Shipping: nuuly ship all orders via UPS to customers within the United States. They are not able to ship to PO Boxes or APO/FPO addresses, to US territories, or anywhere outside of the United States.

4. Armoire

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

Armoire pairs the guidance of a personal styling service with the rental subscription model. Share your sizing and preferences via a simple quiz, and Armoire will share 75 recommendations that they think will fit your needs--including 'Top 5 Recommendations' that best reflect your fit and style preferences. You can swap out pieces before they ship. Your stylist will select 4 “looks" and send them to you. Keep them as long as you’d like, buy pieces you’ve grown attached to, or return your items for free to get something new. We like that they offer sizes 0-16W as well as maternity clothes. The brand is also dedicated to women's empowerment.

Who's This Box For?

This one is mainly for the people who don't have the time to browse through a website or who want the help of a stylist to step out of their comfort zone. But if you don't want the help of a stylist, don't let that deter you.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

"OMG I love Armoire. I've tried other similar services but always felt bored with the clothes. Armoire has amazing items, high quality, and interesting pieces that make my wardrobe pop. I get compliments every time I wear an Armoire piece. I love the personalized styling service and the ease of swapping clothes." - Kiley Bijlani

"Armoire is brilliant. The ability to rent high-quality garms for all occasions is lovely. I have saved so much money and been able to try out loads of new styles." - Lauren Slivka

Shipping: Free shipping both ways to the United States only.

5. Rocksbox

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

Rocksbox is a jewelry rental service that allows you to accessorize without spending hundreds of dollars on pieces that you’ll never wear again.

When you sign up, you’ll add bracelets, earrings, rings, and necklaces from designers like Alex and Ani, Gorjana, and Kate Spade to your wishlist. Rocksbox will send you a set of three pieces including at least one of your Wishlist looks. Swap them for something new whenever you’d like; keep the pieces you love for a discounted price.

Given the low price, Rocksbox offers a fantastic value. Each box contains high-quality accessories, and the site lists the price of each piece — if you decide to purchase, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying.

Who's This Box For?

This box is great for people who would love to spruce up their jewelry drawer without spending hundreds of dollars each time.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

"One of my favorite services. Been using them for over 3 years." - Jennipher Shannon

"I love Rocksbox. I've used their service for a few years now. This is very nice jewelry and I get to wear it for a while, get bored of it, and send it back. It's also nice to have a statement piece or holiday piece here and there (just got some candy cane earrings for Christmas) that I would never normally purchase but are fun to wear for a time. The jewelry is name-brand and quality (I've never gotten anything that irritated my skin or turned green, not ever). They have brands that are more reasonably priced than others ($$$ Kate Spade, $ Sophie Harper). They also have the option to put your subscription on hold which I do at times when I don't have a lot of events coming up or things to do. And if you love a piece you can buy and keep it. After wearing something for a couple weeks and not wanting to part with it - I know then I really do love it (not just an impulse buy that I never look at again) and will continue to wear it." - Emily Jordan

Shipping: Ships free both ways to the United States and territories.

6. New York & Company Closet

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

New York & Company Closet lets you rent 3 pieces at a time from a selection of New York & Company-brand dresses, separates, denim, and workwear. The price is great — it’s on the lower end compared with other unlimited clothing rental subscriptions — and the styles range from casual tees and shorts to floral print dresses and sleek jumpsuits.

Like other services on this list, New York & Company has you add your favorite items to your virtual “Closet,” and then they pick which 3 of those pieces you end up with. The site recommends keeping at least 20 items in your closet (and given the variety here, that’s not especially difficult).

Who's This Box For?

If you love staple pieces and classic designs, this program could be a great way to experiment with new looks without spending much.

Pros

Cons

Shipping: Shipping is always free, both ways. They provide a USPS prepaid shipping label and return bag with every box for you to send back your pieces.

7. Taelor

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

This clothing rental service offers up to 8 pieces of high-quality men's clothing items per month (2 subscription boxes per month, 4 pieces per box) from 200+ brands. It’s like “Rent The Runway for Men” or “Nuuly for Men”.

Taelor is a personal styling service — they’ll collect your sizing and style information from your style quiz or one-on-one consultation calls, then you can provide feedback to the curated collection from 200 brands, picked by your stylist. From there, you can wear up to 8 department-store quality clothes for weeks per month without buying them.

As with traditional personal styling services, this box is a great way to try out new trends or brands. However, unlike traditional services, you can wear what you get and decide whether it’s right for you — for weeks. Other personal styling services expect pieces to be tried on and sent back, not worn out and about.

If you find something you really like, you can keep it for a discounted price.

Who's This Box For?

This is a box perfect for men who need a little help deciphering their style. We like the range of comfortable to crisp and classy separates we’ve seen from Taelor. It’s a great hybrid model that combines the surprise of a subscription box with the convenience of clothing rental. It’s also a great way to reduce clutter.

Taelor only carries sizes S through XL but plans to open to other sizes later this year.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

"This is my third box and I love it!! They send you amazing designer brands and great pieces that fit your style profile. I usually end up buying all my pieces and hoarding them in my closet. I'm pretty addicted to it, but it can get costly, but worth it for designer pieces that you can't normally get or want to buy at such a high cost." - T

Shipping: Free shipping both ways in the United States

8. Haverdash

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

Haverdash offers a wide range of department-store-quality separates, dresses, and more with trend-conscious cuts and patterns. We like that they have a mix of hip designs (ruffled jumpsuits, kick-flare jeans, and reimagined retro patterns) and more traditional go-to items (solid-color T-shirt dresses, office-appropriate blouses, and versatile skinny jeans).

As with many of the other programs on this list, Haverdash has members add their favorite looks to their online “Closet.” They’ll send out three items from that list at a time — wear them as long as you’d like, then swap them out for a new set. Use the “prioritize" feature for a certain item, and the company will try to make sure you get it in your next box.

Who's This Box For?

Haverdash offers incredible variety, so if you feel like you haven’t upgraded your look in years, this is a great service for finding something new. Their site also has a “featured" section with several collections to help you find inspiration. We recommend checking out the Member Favorites. Additionally, Haverdash only carries sizes XS-XL.

Pros

Cons

What Readers Say:

"I love Haverdash. I always have something to wear and their "return notify" feature totally cuts down on wait time between boxes. I'll never shop again (unless I buy something from my box... which I'll admit, I have done! The dress was too cute to return.)" - MSA user

Shipping: Free shipping both ways in the United States.

9. Express Style Trial

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

With Express Style Trial, you can try Express-brand dresses and separates on an unlimited basis. We’re talking about Express here, so you know what you’re getting: The brand is exceptional for chic workwear and casualwear. From jeans to jumpsuits, they offer engaging designs in a variety of sizes.

Shop their clothing rental catalog and add your favorite looks to the wishlist in your account. The service recommends keeping at least 20 items on your wishlist at all times. You’ll get 3 of those preferred pieces to rent for as long as you’d like. Once you’re done, send them back to have 3 more pieces picked out for you.

Who's This Box For?

If you love Express’s modern designs, this fashion rental program is worth a try. Their site makes browsing easy, as you can view their catalog by size, color, or category, and members can purchase rented clothes at a discount. You’ll also earn Express Cash over the course of your membership, so you don’t need to give up retail therapy forever (and you’ll save a bit of cash on your next shopping trip).

Pros

Cons

Shipping: Shipping is free both ways.

10. The Black Tux

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

Every man occasionally needs a high-quality suit. Of course, suits are expensive — and you typically don’t need them every day.

The Black Tux simplifies formal wear rental. You can schedule free at-home try-on services in advance of your occasion, and you’ll have a ton of awesome styles to choose from. Classic black tux? No problem. Plaid? Pinstripes? Pink? They’ve got that, too.

We also like that they offer accessories like ties and cufflinks to complete your look. You’ll pick exactly what you want to rent and exactly when to rent it. It’s easier than a trip to your local tailor, and the price is affordable. Whether you’re trying to make an impression at a job interview or you’re suiting up for a wedding, The Black Tux is an outstanding resource.

Who's This Box For?

Simply put, this box is perfect for the man who needs a nice tux without having to break the bank.

Pros

Cons

Shipping: Ships in the United States both ways for free.

11. Vince Unfold

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

A Vince Unfold membership gives you access to an ever-expanding closet of high-quality dresses and separates. Add your preferred pieces to the wishlist in your account, and Vince will pick four of those pieces to send your way. Swap them out for four new pieces as often as you’d like.

If you’re a fan of a more understated, modern aesthetic, Vince’s sleek silhouettes, elegant patterns, and minimalist palettes should suit your style. The service handles the dry cleaning, and we appreciate the uncomplicated approach — you’ll pay a low monthly rate for the subscription with no hidden fees. As with the other services on this list, you’ll always have the option to purchase any pieces at a discounted rate.

Who's This Box For?

This box is for the people who want a pretty streamlined process of picking out their pieces and getting them sent to their door without any hidden fees or fusses. Vince Unfold also carries up to size 14 so this is something to keep in mind.

Pros

Cons

Shipping: Free shipping both ways in the United States and Puerto Rico. It currently does not ship to other places.

12. Rebecca Taylor RNTD

What’s In This Clothing Rental Subscription Box

Rebecca Taylor’s RNTD ($159 per month) lets you try 4 of the designer brand’s eye-catching separates, dresses, jeans, and more on an unlimited basis. Pick at least 10 of your favorite items from their rental catalog, and they’ll pick 4 to send your way. You can note which items you’d like them to prioritize, too, so while deliveries include fun surprises, you’ll still be able to curate your own look.

Rebecca Taylor’s aesthetic focuses on simple colors, flowing designs, and chic florals. We love the unique silhouettes and patterns you can try with this clothing rental subscription — their selection includes everything from minimalist tops to fluttery animal-print dresses. The company’s apparel has that “where’d you get it?” factor, which makes it perfect for exploring your style.

Who's This Box For?

This box is mainly for the people who love Rebecca Taylor's clothes or those who have always wanted to try them. It's also great to help you expand your style if florals aren't your thing. It's also for those who use styles in sizes XS-XL, 00-14, and denim in sizes 24-31.

Pros

Cons

Shipping: Currently they ship to any street address in the United States and in Puerto Rico. At this time, they do not deliver to the other US commonwealths, territories, and possessions (including Northern Mariana Islands, The Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa). Shipping is free both ways.
